Abstract:

Avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND) are the two most threatening viral infectious diseases in the global poultry industry. Rapid and accurate pathogen detection and typing are of vital importance for the early control and transmission blocking of these two animal diseases. (Method) In this study, a high-throughput nucleic acid mass spectrometry method for detection of AIV and NDV was developed by combining micro multiplex RT-PCR, single base extension and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and the sensitivity, specificity and repeatability of the method were evaluated. The results showed that the established method could detect AIV (type A), subtype H5, subtype H7, subtype H9, NDV and its velogenic/mesogenic strains synchronously. The analytical sensitivity of targets was 8.82-15.40 copies·μL-1, and there was no cross-reaction with other avian pathogen nucleic acid. The reproducibility of 6 mixed targets at 12 copies·μL-1 was above 75%. The detection results of 179 samples (including swab samples and tissue organs) collected in laboratory showed that the coincidence rate of universal target of AIV was 98.9%, and the other targets were 100.0% compared with real-time RT-PCR. So a new high-throughput alternative method is provided for differential detection of AIV, NDV, and their important subtypes/strains synchronously in this study.
